PeaZip extract smart folder could be smarter

Not sure if this is the right place but on the GitHub project there is no issue tab... So I might try my luck here.
----
Sometimes I have multipart RARs with names such as:

  • foobar.part1.rar
  • foobar.part2.rar
  • foobar.part3.rar

When I open the first one (foobar.part1.rar) and use Extract here (smart new folder) the resulting folder is named "foobar.part1" which could be smarter, as ".part1" is actually part of the RAR semantic (which PeaZip understands, as it unpacks the contents from all RARs). Tested whith v11.0 & v11.1.

So my expectation would be that the resulting folder is actually named "foobar".

PeaZip 11.1.0 is ready!

PeaZip 11.1.0 is ready for download, read the full change log! https://peazip.github.io/changelog.html

WHAT IS PEAZIP

PeaZip is an Open Source, cross-platform (BSD, Linux, macOS, Windows) archive manager and file manager utility, written with Lazarus / FreePascal IDE, which works as a command line scripts generation engine for 7z/p7zip, Brotli, Zpaq, Zstd and other open source archiving and compression tools.

This allows either to use PeaZip as an interactive GUI application, or to save tasks as batch CLI scripts for later use - for fine tuning beyond GUI's capabilities, learning the syntax, or re-use and automation purposes.

WHAT'S NEW IN THIS RELEASE

The new release improves direct extraction from application's file manager, expanding the "Extract to..." context menu group with last output path, and submenus with Bookmarks, Filesystem, and History.

This release is focused on QOL enhancements and security fixes.

Backend are updated to 7z/p7zip 26.01, non-Windows alternative 7z/p7zip updated to Tino Reichardt's 7-Zip ZS 25.01, and Pea 1.31.

NOTES

Sources are compiled with Lazarus 4.x, and are still compatible with Lazarus 3.x and 2.x; please note that for building the app it is necessary to add "metadarkstyle" package to the IDE before compiling "peazip" and "pea" binaries, which can be scripted as:

lazbuild --add-package (peazip sources path)/dev/metadarkstyle/metadarkstyle.lpk

The updated \"Extract to...\" group in app's context menu, allowing direct extraction from archive to any previously used, bookmarked, or most relevant system's path.
